Teaching Approach

My lessons are mainly in a direct method but it depends on the student's level.

I will add English explanation if it is needed. If you have your own text book, we can use it. If you don't have anything, I will prepare some texts. In addition, I like Japanese anime, comic, movie, TV drama and other Japanese culture. I have more than 1,000 comics, so we can use them to translate and learn if you want.

A Good Teacher, price affordable with very good teaching material simple easy to understand. She Understand me speaking English well as I from Singapore

One of the best lessons I had. Yuna had actually prepared a perfect lesson without my request. Her method of teaching was very professional with screencaps and contemporary news about Japan. Her price is not reflective of how good her lesson is.
